You were up early for the service tech from
Air Authority. He couldn’t find any problems but made a couple of small changes
on water flow and put in a new humidifier pad; no charge as everything is under
a full three-year warranty. It is a sunny Friday morning. Both of you are in
the bedroom. Carol is on the bed reading the paper and you in your favorite
bedroom chair. Jadah is still under bed because a stranger was in the house. Spooky
is nowhere to be seen. Tough house guard cats they are. – Amorella
0841 hours. If Jadah is afraid of
something you can be sure that Spooky will also be afraid whether the fear is
warranted or not. Kim and the boys are coming tomorrow for an overnight. It
ought to be fun.
Late morning. You had a nap and then did
your forty minutes of exercises. And, you were thinking about the December 2014
BBC article on the universe coming from nothing, that nothing is by definition
(according to some in physics) unstable; and the universe is flat and has
cosmic inflation or so goes the theory. – Amorella
1112 hours. The article is on BBC at:
I already have it in a December blog posting. I glanced at it again earlier
today. It says that gravity and mass equal out on energy. I don’t pretend to
understand the physics of the theory but I have no trouble accepting it as a
plausibility. The Dead in the story are composed of spiritual energy but they
have no gravity other than each other’s souls and no mass whatsoever.
How about a spiritual gravity within
heartansoulanmind and a spiritual gravity within another’s heartansoulanmind? –
Amorella
1122 hours. This would be the souls
holding hands with other souls.
So to speak. Hearts and minds and souls can
hold hands within physical bodies but without the physical bodies the soul must
hold the gravity, as it were, to draw together with other souls of a similar
nature within the individual’s heartanmind. – Amorella
1126 hours. What happens then when
Elderfelder’s heartansoulanmind has not shown up among the marsupial humanoid
Dead?
That is your assumption. – Amorella
1129 hours. It was a flash thought
before sleep last night. This is something Merlyn and PouchMaster were talking
about.
You overheard the conversation in your head?
– Amorella
1130 hours. You tell me. However it
came into consciousness (bubbling up from the depths of the unconscious); it
did. I have overheard conversations before – the funeral near Mars from Pouch
Text in the Merlyn’s Mind series for instance. This is like a film is going on
in my unconsciousness and I pick up from it once in a while. This is very odd
as I think about it. I am sure it is in my notes somewhere. That was years ago.
Very weird. – It reminds me of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead only the
players [Merlyn and PouchMaster] are doing the play of the novel selection
before I am writing it down in Great Merlyn’s Ghost.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a 1990 comedy-drama film written and directed by Tom
Stoppard based on his play of the same name. Like the play, the film depicts
two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who find themselves on the
road to Elsinore Castle at the behest of the King of Denmark. They encounter a
band of players before arriving to find that they are needed to try to discern
what troubles the prince Hamlet. Meanwhile, they ponder the meaning of their
existence. The movie won the Golden Lion at the 47th Venice
International Film Festival.

To have such thoughts, boy from only what
dreams are made of. – Amorella
1151 hours. I see the humor in your
comment but deny knowing where the original words come to play from.
Evening. You drove to supper at Potbelly’s
on Mason-Montgomery Road and while there mentioned the store’s supervisor who
also has other Potbelly stores in southwest Ohio, who used to run the store in
Kenwood and before that worked at the store at Polaris. Once home and doing
some basic housecleaning on the first floor you both watched “Mysteries of
Laura”, “Blacklist” and NBC News. Earlier today while Carol was having her hair
done you ate Bush Baked Beans with a piece of cheese and some deli ham mixed in
and watched two episodes of Fawlty Towers – “The Psychiatrist” and “The Germans”.
- Amorella
2155 hours. I laughed out loud at both
Fawlty Towers episodes.
You just added a memo to your Facebook page:
“My favorite actor in one of
my favorite TV shows and in a wonderful series of films. He lived long and
prospered. May Leonard Nimoy now rest in peace.”
2208 hours. I placed the BBC obituary
on my page earlier but took it off because the photograph was quite unpleasant
to view.
2231 hours. I was looking through my
notes and I found this in my journal on 18 September 2006:

You found a science article on BBC about
people hearing voices and how it is much more common than people think. You
don’t hear voices often but when you do they tend to be overhearing a
‘conversation between two people’. You think it is funny because you have used
it in your story. The funeral on Mars of a marsupial character you did not know
existed. [- Amorella]

2254
hours. I have been looking through my notes back into 2003 - I thought I had them
in computer form until 2004, so I discovered another year. I cannot find any
other reference to the funeral on Mars here but before this my notes are in the twenty to thirty spiral notebooks in a cardboard file storage box or two in the basement as far
as I can remember. I don’t know where my notes are for my first published book,
Stuck, by O. Richards, that was published by iUniverse back in 2001. I’m
sure the notes are around. That book was the beginning of the later Pouch Text
segments in the Merlyn’s Mind series, which becomes the Diplomatic Pouch
segments in GMG.
2320
hours. I found one more reference:

I am presently reminded
of the incident in the first book I think where I awoke listening to marsupials
talking on Mars. And while they were waiting to come to Earth they had been
playing a form of foot ball and one of the characters died and they were
discussing his death and the upcoming funeral. I didn’t even know the
character. I think I put it in the book, but it was a very strange
circumstance.
